ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OR45-1-6762b; FRL-5251-5 ]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision to the State of Oregon's Air Quality Control Plan Volume

2 (The Federal Clean Air Act State Implementation Plan and other State

Regulations), specifically a revision to Section 2.2, Legal Authority,

of the State's Implementation Plan (SIP) and a revision to Chapters 468

and 468A of the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS). The SIP revision was

submitted to address section 110(a)(2)(E) of the Clean Air Act, as

amended (CAA).

In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is

approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision

and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments

are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this rule. If the EPA receives adverse

comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on

this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period

on this notice.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

August 18, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,

Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air Programs Section, at

the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant

to this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal

business hours at the following locations. The interested persons

wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the
